## Resource

In this episode of Retire Well, Josh Bretl and Mark Elliott discuss how to find clarity when you are feeling out of sorts due to market volatility or headline driven anxiety. Josh shares a personal story about a family dinner reset involving a tableside Parmesan cheese wheel that turned a lethargic Sunday into a great start to the week . We then dive into the unique challenges of the retirement marathon for women, focusing on the specific financial whammies that hit when transitioning from a married to a single filer. From a last minute office wedding that saved a couple eighty thousand dollars in taxes to timeless wisdom from Ben Franklin on plugging financial leaks, this conversation is all about making retirement the best part of your life . We simplify the complex so you can focus on what truly matters most. 📞 Ready to talk? Call (630) 478-9599 to schedule your complimentary 15-minute call with a Wellment advisor.
